1 Fort-render, Lord of Wealth, dispelling foemen, the Mighty One with lightnings hath o'ercome the enemy.

Impelled by prayer and waxen great in body, He hath filled earth and heaven, the Bounteous Giver.

2 I stimulate Thy zeal, the Strong, the Hero, decking my song of praise forth, Immortal.

O Mighty One, Thou art equally the Leader of heavenly hosts and human generations.

3 Leading His band, the Mighty One encompassed the obstructor; weak grew the wily leader of enchanters.

He who burns fierce in forests slaughtered Vyamsa, and made the milch-kine of the nights apparent.

4 The Mighty One, light-winner, days' Creator, conquered, victorious, hostile bands with those who loved Him.

For man the days' bright ensign He illumined, and found the light for his joy and gladness.

5 Forward to fiercely falling blows pressed the Mighty One, herolike doing many hero exploits.

These holy songs He taught the bard who praised Him, and widely spread these Dawns' resplendent colour.

6 They laud the mighty acts of Him the Mighty, the many glorious deeds performed by the Mighty One.

He in His strength, with all-surpassing prowess, through wondrous arts crushed the malignant enemies.

7 Lord of the brave, the Mighty One who rules the people gave freedom to the righteous by might and battle.

Wise singers glorify with chanted praises these His achievements in the dwelling of the sun.

8 Excellent, Conqueror, the victory-giver, the winner of the light and the godly Waters,

He who hath won this broad earth and this heaven: in the Mighty One they rejoice who love devotions.

9 He gained possession of the sun and horses, the Mighty One obtained the Cow who feedeth many.

Treasure of gold He won; He smote the enemies, and gave protection to the Aryan colour.

10 He took the plants and days for His possession; He gained the forest trees and air's mid-region.

He cleft the stronghold, and chased away opponents: thus was He tamer of the overweening.

11 Call we on the Bountiful, the auspicious Mighty One, best Hero in the fight where spoil is gathered,

The Strong, who listens, who gives aid in battles, who slays the obstructors, wins and gathers treasures.
